The Kursächsische Postsäulen are historic stone pillars built in the 1700s throughout Saxony to measure distances and mark postal routes. They were built by Saxony's ruler August the Strong in the style of the ancient Romans.

This Distanzsäule, restored in 2002, has been on the Marktplatz since 1734, making it likely the oldest one preserved in its original location and on the original foundation, with only the tip having been replaced so far.
